The Future of Privacy in Web3 | Panel 1, DeCC @ NFT.NYC

At the forefront of the Web3 revolution, DeCC @ NFT.NYC convened a panel of visionaries to unravel the complexities of privacy in a blockchain-powered world. Moderated by the influential Wendy O, the panel featured Gav Blaxberg of Wolf Financial, Tor Bair of Stashh, and Anndy Lian, a best-selling author and thought leader.

The event underscored the attendees’ commitment to privacy, with many overcoming significant obstacles to join the conversation. The introduction of “Decentralized Confidential Computing” (DCC) marked a pivotal moment, signaling a shift towards a narrative that champions confidentiality in the transparent realm of blockchain.

Panelists shared their diverse experiences, from advising on crypto regulations to pioneering encrypted NFTs, all converging on the consensus that privacy and security are the bedrock of a sustainable Web3 ecosystem. The dialogue navigated through the evolution from Web2 to Web3, highlighting the persistent challenges and the urgent need for technological alternatives that empower users with control over their data.

A key distinction emerged between privacy and security. While privacy is often viewed as a luxury, security is a fundamental necessity. The irreversible nature of lost privacy was a sobering reminder of the stakes involved. Personal stories from the panelists brought to life the real-world consequences of security breaches, emphasizing the importance of vigilance in the digital age.

The session concluded with an engaging Q&A, where a question about AI’s role in privacy and security sparked a nuanced debate. AI’s dual potential to both compromise and enhance privacy was acknowledged, with a call for responsible AI development that aligns with public interest.

DeCC @ NFT.NYC was not just an event; it was a clarion call for collective action towards a future where privacy is a standard, not an afterthought. The insights and passion of the panelists inspired attendees to advocate for privacy and champion security in the digital domain.

As the narrative around DCC unfolds, the event stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to protect our digital lives. The journey towards a more private and secure digital world is just beginning, and every step taken is a step towards a better future for all.

NFT Revolution 2024: Trends & Future Predictions by Anndy at NFT.NYC Lian

The Evolution of NFTs: From Skepticism to Mainstream Adoption

Lian’s journey with NFTs has been marked by early skepticism, which has now turned into widespread acceptance. His books, “Blockchain Revolution 2030” and “NFT: From Zero to Hero,” have become essential reads for understanding the potential of NFTs. He urged the audience to “think bigger” in 2023, and the market has responded with a significant increase in value from $737 million in April 2023 to over $1.2 billion in February 2024.

Decoding the Trends: The Future Predicted at NFT.NYC 2024

Lian outlined six key trends that are expected to drive the NFT revolution:

  1. ERC 404: A new standard that merges the features of fungible (ERC-20) and non-fungible tokens (ERC-721), offering a hybrid solution for digital assets.

  2. RWA NFT: Transforming real-world assets like real estate, intellectual property, and fine art into tradable digital formats, enhancing liquidity and accessibility.

  3. NFT ETFs: Providing investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of NFTs, akin to institutional-grade assets, and backed by credible entities.

  4. AI NFTs: Making NFTs more accessible through AI, adding trading products to NFTs for exclusive market insights and trades.

  5. Meme with a Twist - The Squid Bros: A collection of 10K PFPs by Marvel/DC/Game of Thrones artist Mike S. Miller, demonstrating the power of community and IP in elevating NFTs.

World Tokenization Summit, Dubai: Fireside chat with Anndy Lian

World Tokenization Summit, Dubai: Fireside chat with Anndy Lian

In the ever-evolving world of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, the concept of real-world tokenization has been gaining significant traction. To delve deeper into this topic, we recently had the pleasure of hosting a fireside chat with Anndy Lian, an intergovernmental blockchain expert and book author. The discussion was led by Faraj, the Chief Commercial Officer of Venom Foundation, a layer one chain out of Abu Dhabi focusing on stable coins and real-world asset organization globally. Faraj is also the founder of a large community of crypto executives, boasting around 2,000 members. The guest speaker, Anndy Lian, is based in Singapore but often travels around the globe. He embarked on his journey in the crypto world in 2013 when he bought his first Bitcoin. By 2017, he had fully immersed himself in the blockchain space and has never left since. Lian advises different governments. At one point, he served as a blockchain advisor to an intergovernmental group. The State of Real-World Tokenization When asked about his views on real-world tokenization, Lian acknowledged the obvious traction the concept has gained over the years. He recalled how governments were skeptical when he first started discussing the idea around 2017-2018. However, the narrative has since changed. Today, governments and companies are more open to the idea, recognizing the straightforwardness of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Lian believes that the technology for tokenizing assets is 100% ready. He sees big banks and governments pushing the RWA wave, indicating a promising future for the concept. However, he also highlighted a key issue: the revenue model behind some of these RWA projects. He questioned how these companies would sustain themselves and make money, especially given the liquidity problem associated with tokenizing certain assets like mid-level properties. The Future of Stable Coins and Carbon Credit Tokenization Discussing the future of stablecoins and carbon credit tokenization, Lian expressed that most government bodies he interacts with recognize that stablecoins are here to stay. He sees a future where more governments will embrace stable coins within a certain framework, which could lead to the acceleration of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). As for carbon credit tokenization, Lian sees it as a valid use case. He has interacted with several carbon credit exchanges and believes that the traceability of the credit itself would be very interesting. The Impact of Tokenization on the Financial Industry If tokenization is taken seriously and adopted on a large scale, Lian believes it could have a long-lasting impact on the financial industry. He envisions a future where transactions become more effective, with money moving from point A to B in a much faster and cheaper manner. He also sees the potential for 24/7 clearance and money transfers, leading to a more effective financial system. The Next Driver of Mass Adoption When asked about the next driver of mass adoption, Lian expressed his hope for more people to start talking about how they can spend their crypto. He believes that the next “wow” moment would be seeing more adoption, leading to a larger community and driving crypto to the next level. Conclusion The fireside chat with Anndy Lian provided valuable insights into the world of real-world tokenization, stablecoins, and carbon credit tokenization. As the blockchain and crypto space continues to evolve, these discussions play a crucial role in shaping the future of the industry. As Lian aptly put it, the key is to read, learn, and explore for oneself, rather than relying solely on influencers or hype. World Tokenization Summit was held on 21st of November 2023 at Melia Desert Palm, Al Awir Road, Warsan 2, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Closing Speech by Anndy Lian: Looking Ahead 2030

Closing Speech by Anndy Lian: Looking Ahead 2030

Fast forward to the year 2030, and we find ourselves in a world dramatically altered over the past decade, especially in finance. What was once a niche and speculative asset class, cryptocurrencies have now transitioned into the mainstream, embraced by millions across the globe. What factors have propelled this astonishing growth and widespread adoption of crypto, and what challenges and opportunities lie ahead for the crypto industry and its users? The Swift Expansion of Cryptocurrencies At the core of the crypto revolution is the innovation and evolution of blockchain technology. Blockchain, a distributed ledger system, records transactions in a secure, transparent, and immutable manner. It facilitates peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries, reducing costs, minimizing friction, and enhancing efficiency and trust. Blockchain's transformative power has paved the way for the emergence of various crypto assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, utility tokens, security tokens, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and more. These digital assets serve diverse purposes, ranging from acting as a store of value and medium of exchange to representing real-world assets digitally, offering access to decentralized applications (DApps), and enabling the ownership of digital collectibles. A study by Grand View Research, Inc. forecasts the global cryptocurrency market to reach USD 11.71 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% from 2021 to 2030. This growth is attributed to the surging demand for crypto assets among both retail and institutional investors, the increasing integration of blockchain technology in various sectors, and the favorable regulatory climate in some countries. Rising Popularity and Mainstream Acceptance Another driving force behind crypto adoption is the growing awareness and education among the general public. More individuals are becoming acquainted with the benefits and potential of cryptocurrencies, such as financial inclusion, empowerment, privacy, and sovereignty. The availability and accessibility of various platforms and services, including exchanges, wallets, payment processors, lending platforms, and more, further facilitate this adoption. A report on Github estimates that the number of crypto users will surpass one billion by 2030, based on a historical growth rate of 63.2% per year. The report identifies key drivers of crypto adoption, including the expansion of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the advent of DeFi and NFTs, the introduction of institutional products and services, and endorsements from celebrities and influencers. Challenges and Opportunities Despite the remarkable progress and potential of crypto, several challenges and uncertainties demand attention: - Regulation and Compliance - Security and Scalability - Education and Adoption On the flip side, numerous opportunities await exploration within the crypto space: - Innovation and Development - Inclusion and Empowerment - Transformation and Disruption Conclusion Crypto transcends being merely a technology, currency, or asset—it represents a movement, a culture, and a vision. It is a movement that strives to build a more open, fair, and democratic world. It is a culture that values innovation, collaboration, and diversity. It is a vision that foresees a future where everyone can participate, contribute, and reap the benefits of the digital economy. Looking ahead to 2030, we can anticipate the continued growth, evolution, and maturation of crypto, with new challenges and opportunities on the horizon. Crypto's impact extends beyond being the future of money; it encompasses the future of the web and, indeed, the future of the world. The BCH Meet up was held in South Korea on 28 October 2023.

The Future of Crypto: What are the next big trends? By Anndy Lian | JCI Startup

The Future of Crypto: What are the next big trends? By Anndy Lian | JCI Startup

The future of cryptocurrency is poised for transformation, driven by the convergence of artificial intelligence (AI), regulatory developments, and innovative applications of blockchain technology.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is already being used in the crypto space to power trading applications, create AI-driven relationship projects, and even track and verify transactions. As AI becomes more integral to the crypto ecosystem, it is likely to reshape economic models and create new ways for users to interact with the technology.

Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)

CBDCs are digital currencies issued by central banks. They offer the potential to revolutionize transactions by offering traceability, accountability, and tax compliance. This enhanced transparency could lead to a seismic change in the cryptocurrency landscape, bridging the gap between traditional finance and digital assets.

Decentralization and the Quest for Privacy

Decentralization is another key trend that is shaping the future of cryptocurrency. Decentralized applications (DApps) and peer-to-peer networks are increasingly being developed with built-in mechanisms to strike a balance between privacy and security. This could lead to a more automated and structured crypto environment, with organizations collaborating on decisions and ensuring a more inclusive and diverse representation of stakeholders.

NFTs and Beyond: The Next Phase of Digital Collectibles

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have surged into prominence in recent years, redefining digital ownership and creativity. While NFT sales volume has experienced fluctuations, their adoption has steadily grown thanks to collaborations with established brands. The integration of NFTs in titles deeds, medical records, and property ownership could revolutionize industries reliant on trust and provenance.

Security Tokens (STOs) and Commodities on the Blockchain

Security tokens (STOs) are redefining how financial assets are represented on the blockchain. As traditional securities transition to tokenized formats, the bridge between traditional finance and blockchain strengthens. STOs empower investors with fractional ownership and enhance liquidity, ultimately broadening access to previously exclusive investment opportunities.

Commodities trading is also witnessing a transformation through blockchain technology. Tokenizing commodities enables fractional ownership, making these assets accessible to a broader range of investors. This innovation could democratize trading and investing in commodities, creating a more inclusive financial landscape.

Regulatory Clarity and Institutional Adoption

Regulatory clarity is emerging as a catalyst for institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. Major financial institutions, including private banks and family offices, are exploring allocations in the crypto space. These institutions are recognizing the potential for diversification and growth that cryptocurrencies offer.

As regulations become more defined, institutional involvement is likely to increase, leading to a maturation of the crypto market. This trend could reshape the dynamics of the financial industry and contribute to the broader adoption of cryptocurrencies as legitimate investment vehicles.

In conclusion, the future of cryptocurrency is full of possibilities. The convergence of AI, regulatory developments, and innovative applications of blockchain technology is poised to transform the crypto landscape, reshaping traditional finance and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the digital realm.

Copyright Protection: AI can monitor for copyright violations, and blockchain can create an immutable record of intellectual property ownership and usage rights, ensuring creators' rights are respected. Smart Contracts Revolution: The synergy between AI and blockchain can revolutionize sectors like finance, legal agreements, and supply chain management through self-executing smart contracts that enhance automation and efficiency. Decentralized Power: The decentralized nature of both AI and blockchain mitigates central points of failure, fostering system resilience and reducing risks. Envisioning the Future: AI + Web3 = Limitless Potential The collaborative potential of AI and Web3 extends far beyond our current imagination. Here are a few glimpses of what the future may hold: 1.

Anndy Lian delves into the transformative power of NFTs and highlights the paradigm shift being witnessed in the industry. As big brands increasingly recognize the immense opportunities presented by NFTs, it is essential for crypto natives to think even bigger and contribute to the growth and long-term viability of this emerging sector.

Thinking Beyond Speculation:
While NFTs have garnered attention for their speculative nature, moving away from the short-term mindset and considering their broader implications is vital. Currently, the focus is on the price and potential financial gains of NFTs. However, NFTs should be viewed as a technology that can address specific needs and create new possibilities to truly unlock their value.

Leveraging the Power of Big Brands:
Prominent brands such as Gucci, Porsche, Starbucks, Amazon, and Red Bull have embraced NFTs as an opportunity to enhance engagement with their communities and promote the adoption of Web3 technology. These forward-thinking brands are not merely selling NFTs for quick profits but are instead investing in the future.

The Lessons from Tech Visionaries:
Historically, visionaries like Bill Gates and Jack Ma have foreseen the transformative potential of emerging technologies. Although initially met with skepticism, their predictions about the internet and e-commerce have become a reality. Similarly, the integration of NFTs into the strategies of major brands today signifies a shift towards a future where NFTs serve a purpose beyond speculation.

Seizing Opportunities for Growth:
Crypto natives must not lag behind in this rapidly evolving landscape. It is imperative to think bigger, demonstrate sustainability, and exhibit the true potential of NFTs. By showcasing the value and utility of NFTs, both in the Web3 and Web2 domains, crypto natives can prove their commitment to driving lasting change.

Embracing Innovation:
NFTs possess the power to transform various sectors, ranging from art and collectibles to membership programs and decentralized finance. However, it is crucial not to saturate the market by applying NFTs indiscriminately. Instead, identifying the inherent value in each asset and creating meaningful connections between the physical and digital realms will pave the way for a prosperous future.

Digital Assets as Catalysts for Change:
In the quest for a sustainable and interconnected world, NFTs emerge as revolutionary digital assets. By embracing this paradigm shift collectively, we have the potential to reshape industries, challenge traditional notions of value, and make a positive impact on a global scale. The journey towards a fully integrated Web3 experience may take time, but the transformation will be significant.

Conclusion:
As NFTs evolve beyond speculation and embrace a more sustainable approach, the importance of forward-thinking individuals and communities cannot be overstated. By thinking big and aligning with the vision of major brands, crypto natives can contribute to the growth and long-term success of NFTs. The future holds tremendous potential for innovative use cases and the integration of Web3 technology, and it is up to us to seize this opportunity and drive change.

This decentralized architecture fosters trust, transparency, and immutability, making it an ideal framework for a wide range of applications. Anndy Lian emphasized that what we should all focus on is that " Web3 is for the creators.”. He explains how Web3 “ushers in a fresh type of economy that empowers users and communities to make more informed and advantageous business choices."

Revolutionizing Industries:
Web3 has unleashed its transformative potential across diverse industries. In the realm of finance, decentralized finance (DeFi) has emerged as a prominent use case, offering decentralized lending, borrowing, and trading options. This decentralized approach disrupts traditional financial systems, granting individuals access to a more inclusive and efficient financial landscape.

Jake Zheng mentioned earning from using their own work and data in the Web3 era. Web3 has revolutionized the realm of digital content and entertainment.

On the other hand, AI augments the capabilities of Web3 by providing intelligent decision-making algorithms and automation. Together, they create a powerful synergy that has the potential to redefine industries and drive innovation.

Future Implications:
As the Web3 industry and AI continue to flourish, their implications for the future are profound. The integration of Web3 and AI technologies holds the power to revolutionize various sectors, including finance, healthcare, supply chain, and governance. Decentralized AI systems can ensure data privacy while empowering individuals with personalized experiences and decision-making capabilities. This symbiotic relationship has the potential to democratize access to services, increase efficiency, and foster greater trust in systems.

In conclusion, the rapid growth of the Web3 industry and AI has ushered in a new era of technological advancement.

Panel Discussion: How will NFT empower the creator economy in the web3 era?

Panel Discussion: How will NFT empower the creator economy in the web3 era?

The rise of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) has sparked a remarkable transformation in the cultural and creative economy, ushering in an era filled with new possibilities within the web3 ecosystem. NFTs offer creators unprecedented opportunities to monetize their work, establish ownership, and engage with their audience in exciting and innovative ways. This panel, organized by WikiEXPO explores the ways in which NFTs empower the creator economy and contribute to the development and prosperity of the cultural industry. The panelists are Ganesh R, Co-founder, Firebond; Hanis Harmiles, Founder, Reinvent DAO; Tony Fu, Founder, NFT China; James Lee, CCO, Srarry Nift; Caesar Chen, Ethereum Developer & Anndy Lian, Intergovernmental Blockchain Advisor. Direct Monetization and Increased Revenue: NFTs provide creators with a distinct advantage: the ability to monetize their work directly, without the need for intermediaries. By minting and selling their digital creations as NFTs, artists can bypass traditional platforms and retain a larger portion of the revenue generated. This direct relationship between creators and collectors promotes a more equitable distribution of profits, ensuring that artists receive fair compensation for their contributions and fostering a sustainable economy. Royalties and Secondary Sales: A revolutionary aspect of NFTs is the inclusion of smart contracts. Creators can program these contracts to include royalties, guaranteeing them a percentage of future sales. This means that artists can benefit from the increasing value of their work over time or from subsequent sales on secondary markets. Such a system provides artists with a consistent revenue stream, incentivizing them to continue producing exceptional works and fueling the growth of the cultural industry. Authenticity and Provenance: Authenticity has long been a concern in the art world. However, NFTs tackle this issue by leveraging blockchain technology to establish transparent and immutable records of ownership and provenance. Each NFT is uniquely identified and linked to its creator, making it incredibly difficult to counterfeit or plagiarize digital assets. Collectors can now have confidence in the legitimacy and originality of the NFTs they acquire, building trust within the ecosystem and driving the demand for digital creations. Tokenizing Intellectual Property: NFTs extend beyond traditional visual artworks, encompassing a wide range of digital content such as music, videos, virtual real estate, and virtual goods. This ability to tokenize intellectual property opens up new avenues for creators in various fields to monetize their unique creations. Musicians, for instance, can release albums as NFTs, granting exclusive access to bonus tracks or backstage experiences. Filmmakers can tokenize movie memorabilia, offering collectors the opportunity to own iconic props or moments from their favorite films. This expansion of tokenization possibilities stimulates creativity and innovation, propelling the cultural industry forward. Community Engagement and Collaboration: NFTs foster direct interaction between creators and their audience, nurturing a sense of community and engagement. Artists can utilize platforms built around NFTs to communicate with collectors, offer exclusive perks, organize virtual events, and cultivate a dedicated fan base. This heightened connectivity enables creators to receive insights, feedback, and support from their community, resulting in more refined and impactful artistic creations. NFTs also facilitate collaboration between artists, encouraging the exchange of ideas, cross-disciplinary projects, and collective creativity. Decentralized Marketplaces and Creative Freedom: In the web3 era, NFTs are accompanied by decentralized marketplaces that empower creators with greater autonomy and creative freedom. These platforms eliminate the need for traditional gatekeepers, allowing artists to reach a global audience without geographical limitations. Moreover, creators have the flexibility to experiment with various pricing models, access real-time sales data, and maintain control over their artistic direction. By removing barriers and creating a more inclusive environment, NFTs unlock the full potential of the creator economy, fostering a thriving cultural industry. Conclusion: NFTs have emerged as a powerful force propelling the cultural and creative economy into uncharted territories. By empowering creators through direct monetization, royalties, authenticity, and community engagement, NFTs have revolutionized how artists interact with their audience and monetize their work. Through the tokenization of intellectual property and the freedom offered by decentralized marketplaces. As this technology continues to evolve, it promises to reshape the future of creativity, creating a more vibrant and inclusive ecosystem for artists and enthusiasts alike.

Anndy Lian’s NFT NYC Speech: Think Bigger in the Next NFT Summer

Anndy Lian’s NFT NYC Speech: Think Bigger in the Next NFT Summer

Best selling book author, Anndy Lian gave his speech titled “Think Bigger In the next NFT Summer” at NFT.NYC 2023.

The concept of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) has been in existence for some time now. However, while it has gained considerable popularity, it has also raised concerns amongst some people. Many individuals have developed a negative perception of NFTs due to the hype surrounding them. There have also been instances of NFT wash trades, which are used to inflate NFT prices artificially. Additionally, some NFTs have no practical use, and some are regarded as securities, which is a regulatory issue.

Despite this, the NFT craze is far from over, and it could be just the beginning of a new era. Big names like Gucci, Porsche, Starbucks, Amazon, and Red Bull Racing have started investing in NFTs, which suggests that the market is gaining traction and legitimacy. This year could be the last NFT summer where people only see NFTs as a speculative asset.

In 1999, Bill Gates predicted that everything would be on the internet. Jack Ma did the same in China, but people thought it was impossible. Now, we are living in a world where the internet is an integral part of our daily lives. If we continue to use our current mindset to envision the future, we risk being left behind, just like those who laughed at the internet in its early days.

We need to broaden our minds and start thinking beyond the current limitations of NFTs. NFTs can be used for anything, from digital art and music to virtual real estate and gaming items. The possibilities are endless, and the new assets are in the digital world. Crypto natives need to think bigger and explore the true potential of NFTs.

Although we currently view NFTs as speculative, we must start using them in the future we create. Big brands have recognized this and are willing to invest in the technology. It is time for us to move past the current hype and start creating and exploring the digital world that awaits us.

In conclusion, the next NFT summer will not be about speculating on assets but rather about creating and using them. NFTs represent the future, and it is time for us to start thinking beyond our current limitations and explore their full potential. The possibilities are endless, and anything can be an NFT. Let us embrace this technology and start creating a better digital world.

NFT NYC is a yearly event dedicated to NFTs and blockchain technology, which has quickly become a major focus of the art and collectibles world. This immersive conference and festival attracts a wide variety of participants, including industry leaders, artists, collectors, and enthusiasts, who come together to explore the possibilities of NFTs.

Web 3 0 Marketing How Marketers Can Stay Ahead Of The Curve | World Blockchain Summit Dubai 2023

Web 3 0 Marketing How Marketers Can Stay Ahead Of The Curve | World Blockchain Summit Dubai 2023

Marketing in Web 3 is not an easy feat. It requires a thorough understanding of the technology's technical and cultural aspects. The challenge is to market the product in a way that speaks to the people's cultural orientation while staying true to its technicalities. This is what a panel of experts discussed in a recent webinar.

The panel consisted of three experts from different industries. Anndy, a Singapore-based venture investor and government advisor; Mirko Maccarrone, the director of Web3 Lightblue; and Shashwat, CMO of NFT3.

Anndy began the conversation by pointing out the good and bad marketing campaigns in both web2 and web3 spaces. He said that web3 is fast and nimble, but bad habits from web2 often flow into web3 marketing. It is vital to have marketing strategies that work for web3 and cater to the audience's cultural orientation.

Mirko, who has launched a web-free department and worked with global and regional-level marketing for various brands, highlighted the importance of culturally-oriented marketing. He stated that a marketer who has experience working with fashion brands and writing novels can speak in a language that people understand without being too technical or speculative.

Shashwat, a marketeer in web3 for the past three years, agreed with Miracle and added that marketers need to understand the technology's technicalities while catering to the audience's cultural orientation. Shashwat's company, NFT3, is developing a face ID system for web3 to make signing in to every web3 platform easy and seamless.

The panelists also discussed mass adoption, which is crucial for web3's success. They agreed that mass adoption can only happen when there is a cultural connection between the product and the audience. This connection is possible when marketers understand the audience's cultural background and can communicate the product's technicalities in a way that they understand.

One of the major challenges confronting marketers in the era of Web 3.0 is the need to strike a balance between innovation and cultural relevance. Unlike traditional marketing approaches, which rely on generic messaging and branding, Web 3.0 marketing necessitates a more intricate approach that considers the audience's unique cultural contexts and sensibilities.

To excel in Web 3.0 marketing, it is imperative to be culturally oriented and possess a varied range of experiences and perspectives. This implies collaborating with individuals who have backgrounds in areas such as fashion, literature, and the arts, as well as those who possess technical expertise in blockchain and decentralized technologies.

Another crucial factor for successful Web 3.0 marketing is the ability to adapt promptly to changing market conditions. The swift and ever-evolving nature of the Web 3.0 landscape necessitates marketers to be nimble and agile, capable of rapidly pivoting in response to new trends and emerging technologies.

Furthermore, Web 3.0 marketing necessitates a profound understanding of the underlying technologies and concepts that drive this new era of innovation. This requires staying current with the latest developments in fields like decentralized finance, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and smart contracts, and being able to explicate these complex concepts in straightforward language to non-technical audiences.

Web 3.0 marketing presents a thrilling opportunity to create more engaging and interactive experiences for customers. Decentralized applications (dApps) and NFTs provide new prospects for gamification and social interaction, enabling marketers to create immersive, personalized experiences that drive engagement and loyalty.

In conclusion, marketing in web3 is a delicate balance between the technicalities of the technology and the audience's cultural orientation. Marketers need to be culturally oriented, speak in a language that people understand, and understand the technicalities of the technology they are marketing. Mass adoption will only happen when there is a cultural connection between the product and the audience.

Anndy Lian & Eugene Shilov on Crypto Investments

Anndy Lian & Eugene Shilov on Crypto Investments

Part 2 of the interview, Founders Club, Eugene Shilov asked Anndy Lian about his insights on cryptocurrency investments

Crypto Cycle

Anndy first touched on where we currently stand in the crypto cycle. He emphasized that he looks at the numbers and believes that Bitcoin is in a good position right now. He sees Q3 and Q4 as being a good time to see how far Bitcoin can go this year. While he doesn't think we are going into a super bull cycle in the next one or two quarters, he does believe that there will be a gradual signal that it's going to come soon.

When it comes to investing in cryptocurrency, Anndy offered some advice for retail investors. He believes that people should know their finances well and not go beyond their limit. Many people are willing to bet more money than they can manage, which is a big mistake. He encourages people to invest in cryptocurrency to get a proper return, but not to gamble.

Lian also suggested that people should look at the projects they are investing in and consider the long-term potential. He advised people to look at the team behind the project and what they are working on to determine if it's a good investment. he also highlighted the importance of diversification. People should not put all of their money into one coin or project, as it could be risky. Instead, it's important to have a diversified portfolio that includes multiple coins and projects.

He emphasized the importance of understanding the product and the project before investing in it. Many retail investors panic when the price of a coin fluctuates, causing them to criticize the project or even search for the founders. He explained that this behavior is a result of investors not understanding the investment cycle, the product, or the project.

The second point that Anndy stressed is the need for thorough research. He advised investors not to only research the project but also to understand when they can expect their return on investment. Many investors fail to realize their investment on paper, resulting in zero returns. Therefore, it is crucial to know oneself, the risk profile, the portfolio, and the timeline of investment.

Timing

Cryptocurrencies have revolutionized the financial industry, and with the advent of Web3, the industry is expected to become even more innovative. But with the market still a bit bumpy, investors are uncertain and it's not advisable to go for something that's too out of the box. Timing is crucial when investing in cryptocurrencies.

According to Anndy, if you want to be listed on exchanges like Binance or Coinbase, now is the best time. The market is not at its best, and you have the money to pay for marketing. Building your project's narrative is key to getting listed as soon as possible. While some may argue that you need your product up and running before you can list, there are blockchain projects worth hundreds of millions that are still in the testing phase.
The most defining word in Web3 space is community. Building a community is key to marketing your project in Web3. The CEO must interact with the community, and Twitter is an excellent platform to do so. Connecting with people, whether through a heart shape or a thumbs up, is how you build a community.

Ending

Investing in cryptocurrency can be a daunting task for beginners, but it doesn't have to be. In fact, investing in crypto can be easy and accessible to anyone who is willing to try. The secret is to start small and try it out. Don't wait for the perfect opportunity, just take the plunge and see what happens.

One common question beginners ask is how much they should invest in crypto. The answer is simple: invest what you can afford to lose. You don't need to put in a large sum of money to start investing in crypto. You can start with a tiny bit of investment and see how it goes. The goal is to try it out and learn from the experience.

The key to successful investing in crypto is to be consistent and not rely on luck. You have to understand the fundamentals and realize your profit. Once you have made a profit, you can reinvest it in other things that give you a higher return.

It's important to note that you have to know yourself before investing in crypto. You have to determine how much you can afford to lose and what your goals are. Investing in crypto is not about luck, it's about understanding the market and being consistent.

If you're a hard-working person, you can get involved in crypto projects by checking out some of the trends on Twitter. This will help you understand the market better and determine when the right time is to invest.
It's important to rebalance your investments and not hold on to them forever. This is something that many crypto investors forget. Realizing your profit and reinvesting it elsewhere will give you a higher return.

Anndy ended the interview with his famous quote- “Not financial advice.”

Anndy Lian & Sergey Kochnev on Crypto Trends of 2023

Anndy Lian & Sergey Kochnev on Crypto Trends of 2023

Founders Club brings founders from all walks of life together. Sergey Kochnev interviewed Anndy Lian, an intergovernmental blockchain advisor, investor and book author at Dubai, Blue Waters Island.

Current state of crypto

Anndy was also asked about the current state of the crypto market and Bitcoin's future. He believes that the overall sentiments are not bad, and there is still hope for the market. The market has had a good run, and even though the projection towards a $30,000 run is around the corner, it's just a matter of perspective.

He also believes that investing in crypto is a long-term game rather than a short-term one. It's similar to investing in the stock market, where there are fluctuations, and people should expect them. He mentioned that during the 2016-2019 ICO era, people were having 10x and 100x gains within six or three months, which is not the case anymore.

Regarding the main trends in crypto, He stated that institutions are looking to create products using a basket of cryptocurrencies. They are not only interested in buying Bitcoin, but they also want to invest in other crypto assets.

Another trend is the rise of NFTs. They can represent anything from digital art and music to in-game items and virtual real estate. NFTs have become increasingly popular in recent years, with some pieces selling for millions of dollars. But with the rise in popularity of NFTs comes the risk of scams and bad actors in the space. By arming themselves with knowledge, people can avoid falling prey to bad actors and ensure they're investing in legitimate NFTs. This is the gist of Anndy’s new book, NFT: From Zero to Hero.

The problem with NFTs and Web3 is that some people are simply jumping on the hype train without truly understanding the technology. It's important for people to understand the utility of NFTs and how they can be used in real-life businesses and games.

While some may argue that NFTs are simply a web2 experience, it's important to remember that technology takes time to adapt and for adoption to take place. It's similar to the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s, where it took a decade for companies to become trillion-dollar businesses. But with the cycles of innovation becoming faster, it's likely that the adoption of NFTs and Web3 will happen more quickly.

How to gain crypto knowledge

Sergey asked about how one can gain practical knowledge in the cryptocurrency market? When it comes to cryptocurrency investment, many people focus on the potential gains and forget about the possibility of losses. It is important to understand that the experience of losing is just as much a part of the journey as winning. Therefore, it is essential to have practical knowledge before investing in this market. The first step towards gaining practical knowledge is research. Do not just read articles, try it out for yourself. You cannot claim to be an expert in something you have not experienced. Some people claim to work in exchanges or on projects without even owning an NFT or understanding how dynamic the market can be. Practical knowledge is key. Educate yourself about the market before investing. Knowledge is power and this applies to any investment, whether it's real estate, stocks, or cryptocurrency.

You cannot just jump into the market, hoping to get lucky and make a profit. Many people bought Bitcoin when it was at its peak, only to lose out when the market crashed.

It is also important to remember that hodling or holding on to a coin is not always the best option. You need to make your own decisions based on your understanding of the market. Do not blindly follow the advice of others without considering your own interests.

Looking ahead

Looking ahead to the end of 2023, it's difficult to predict where the market will go. However, it's clear that true decentralization and self-custody will continue to be important factors in the development of Web3 technologies. As the industry evolves, it will be important to stay focused on what is truly decentralized, and to avoid being convinced or confused by marketing hype.

Q3 and Q4 of this year will be a more promising time for the gaming industry. It's also expected that bigger brands in the US will find a way to keep themselves in the game, while maintaining a good reputation. This is a significant advantage for the industry, as it will drive more positive vibes and traction. Web3 is expected to remain a good muscle within the US ecosystem, even without cryptocurrency. The industry is hopeful that this new technology will usher in a new era of gaming that is more secure, transparent, and accessible to all.

Anndy ended his interview by emphasizing that gaining practical knowledge in the cryptocurrency market is essential before investing. It is not enough to rely on theoretical knowledge or the advice of others. Research, try things out, and make your own decisions based on your understanding of the market. Remember, knowledge is power.

Panel Discussion at TMRW Conference Dubai: NFT in 2023 should be about utility and not (only) collectability

Panel Discussion at TMRW Conference Dubai: NFT in 2023 should be about utility and not (only) collectability

In the upcoming year of 2023, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) will likely experience a transformation in focus from solely collectability to utility. Although NFTs have recently become popular as a means of owning unique digital assets, their potential applications extend far beyond collecting and trading.

The utilization of NFTs could revolutionize numerous industries by providing authentication of ownership, authenticity, and scarcity for digital assets. For instance, in the gaming industry, NFTs could be used to represent in-game assets such as weapons, skins, and characters. In the art industry, NFTs could be used to certify the ownership of digital artwork and ensure its authenticity.

Furthermore, NFTs can be employed for digital identity, allowing individuals to prove their identity and ownership of personal data without depending on centralized authorities. NFTs can also be employed for digital contracts, providing secure and immutable records of agreements.

As a result, NFTs have the potential to facilitate new business models and generate fresh opportunities in multiple sectors. By shifting the focus to utility, the complete potential of NFTs will be realized beyond their present usage as collectible digital assets.

Anndy Lian's Keynote Speech at TMRW Conference Dubai: Web4, A New Way to Decentralise

Anndy Lian's Keynote Speech at TMRW Conference Dubai: Web4, A New Way to Decentralise

Decentralised cryptocurrency, a digital currency that operates independently of a central bank or authority, is a concept that has revolutionized the financial world. Transactions are recorded on a public digital ledger, such as a blockchain, and verified by a network of users rather than a single centralized institution. This innovative and decentralised structure allows for increased transparency, security, and autonomy in financial transactions.

But decentralisation is not limited to just cryptocurrency. When we talk about decentralisation, the term web3 often comes up. Web3, also known as the decentralised web or "Web3.0," is a visionary concept for the future of the internet in which power and control are distributed among users rather than concentrated in a small group of companies or organizations.

The central concept of web3 is decentralisation, which aims to allow users to control their own data and identity, as well as giving them more control over the apps and services they use. It is also thought to have the potential to create new business models and economic opportunities.

Jack Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of Twitter, Inc., mentioned that web3 is not necessarily decentralised, and I completely agree with his comments. The reality is that the concept of decentralisation is complex and nuanced, and we must continue to explore its potential and limitations in the context of the evolving digital landscape.

We need something more decentralised. My suggestion to this is "Web4". Web4, or what some refer to as the second generation of the decentralized web, envisions a future internet where power and control are spread across users instead of a select few companies or organizations. Rather than relying on centralized servers and data storage, web4 would utilize cutting-edge decentralized technologies such as blockchain and peer-to-peer networks to create an internet that's more transparent, secure, and open. With this, users can enjoy greater data privacy, censorship resistance, and ownership of digital assets.

At the heart of web4 is decentralization, which empowers users to manage their data and identity while providing more control over their apps and services. The potential for web4 goes beyond mere convenience and opens doors to new business models and economic opportunities. Furthermore, web4 is intertwined with the burgeoning field of AI, which can complement its decentralized nature in various ways. Think decentralized AI, Federated Learning, Privacy-Preserving AI, Blockchain-based AI, and AI-driven scalability. The possibilities are endless!

Artificial intelligence (AI) could potentially play a crucial role in realizing this vision. Here are some tantalizing possibilities of how Web4 and AI could interact:

First up, decentralized AI. Web4 aims to decentralize control on the internet, and that could be applied to AI as well. Decentralized AI systems would enable more distributed decision-making and prevent a single entity from having too much power over AI systems. Talk about leveling the playing field!

Then there's Federated Learning. Web4 is all about making different technologies and platforms work together seamlessly. Federated learning, a technique where multiple devices, like smartphones, work together to train a shared AI model, could be a perfect fit for Web4. Who knew that smartphones could be such a powerful force for good?

And let's not forget about Privacy-Preserving AI. Web4 is all about providing users with increased security and privacy. Privacy-preserving AI, which protects users' data privacy while still allowing for useful AI models to be trained, is the perfect solution to achieve this goal.

Last but not least, we have AI-driven scalability. Web4 aims to handle more data and users by using blockchain technology and sharding concepts, which allows for faster processing of transactions. Deep learning techniques can also be used to optimize the scalability of the network. It's all about being able to handle more, faster.

As you can see, the potential for Web4 and AI to work together is truly mind-boggling. We can't wait to see what the future holds!

“I believe in decentralisation. Web4 could be the next big movement.” - Anndy Lian

From Global Coordination to National Implementation: G20 Perspectives on Crypto Policy by Anndy Lian and panel

From Global Coordination to National Implementation: G20 Perspectives on Crypto Policy by Anndy Lian and panel

The upcoming G20 summit in Bengaluru has generated considerable interest within the global crypto community as discussions around the future of digital assets are expected to take place. The summit will bring together regulatory bodies from various countries to collaboratively explore the need for a regulatory framework for the crypto market, covering areas such as security, taxation, and investor protection.

The outcome of these discussions holds great significance for the crypto industry, as it could determine the regulatory status and legal recognition of digital assets in different countries. Given the challenges faced by investors and businesses in the absence of clear regulations, the decisions made at the G20 summit could shape the future of the industry.

The phrase "fate of virtual assets" refers to the legal status of cryptocurrencies, which remains ambiguous in many countries. The G20 summit could be a critical step in addressing this ambiguity and setting a global standard for regulating digital assets.

Although the Union Budget in India did not offer much for crypto investors, the G20 summit presents a significant opportunity to shape the future of the industry. As such, the global crypto community will be closely monitoring the developments and decisions made at the summit, as they could have far-reaching implications for the industry.

Playing Safe With India's New VDA Tax Rules With Anndy Lian

Playing Safe With India's New VDA Tax Rules With Anndy Lian

Anndy Lian, book author of NFT: From Zero to Hero commented on India's VDA rules.

India's new tax rules for cryptocurrencies were introduced in the 2021 Union Budget and are known as the Voluntary Disclosure of Income Scheme (VDIS) rules. The rules require individuals who own cryptocurrencies to disclose their crypto holdings and pay taxes on any capital gains they may have earned. According to the new rules, if an individual has held cryptocurrencies for less than 36 months, any profits they make from selling the cryptocurrencies will be considered short-term capital gains and will be taxed at the individual's marginal tax rate. If the individual has held the cryptocurrencies for more than 36 months, the profits will be considered long-term capital gains and will be taxed at a rate of 20% with indexation benefits.

Additionally, the new tax rules require individuals to pay taxes on any cryptocurrency income that is not from capital gains, such as mining or staking rewards. This income will be taxed as per the individual's marginal tax rate.

The new tax rules are aimed at bringing greater transparency to the cryptocurrency market in India and ensuring that individuals who own cryptocurrencies pay the taxes owed on their crypto-related income.

Anndy's humble advice is "Use regulated exchange and pay your taxes in India."

Anndy continues to talk about ZK-rollups.

ZK-rollups (ZK-rollups) are a solution to scalability problems faced by many Ethereum developers. They allow faster and cheaper transactions on the Ethereum network while maintaining the security and decentralization of the blockchain. By aggregating multiple transactions into a single compressed transaction, ZK-rollups can significantly reduce the burden on the Ethereum network and increase overall efficiency in the system. The value of such a tool for the cryptocurrency industry is that it greatly reduces the cost of processing data, without compromising the security or decentralization that makes the monetary network unique.

The application of ZK technology allows blockchain networks to prove its authenticity of its operations in the most efficient way using the fewest possible steps. This has the power to be a transformational tool for Web3 development. In 2021, ZK-rollups are expected to be a major area of focus and growth.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is also a field that is gaining significant attention and investment globally, including in India. Web3 and blockchain technology have the potential to solve productivity issues with AI by creating a more secure and decentralized environment for AI data and models. In a traditional centralized setting, there are often concerns about privacy and security of sensitive AI data and models, as well as issues around data ownership and control. However, these issues can be addressed through greater transparency, security, and accountability in the AI ecosystem if the blockchain technology and web3 are used.

For example, AI models can be trained on decentralized data sources, and the ownership and control of the data can be managed through blockchain-based smart contracts. Additionally, web3 and blockchain can help create a more equitable distribution of rewards for AI model contributors, which can drive greater collaboration and innovation in the field.

The Future starts Tomorrow - Everything about NFT, Metaverse and Web3

The Future starts Tomorrow - Everything about NFT, Metaverse and Web3

NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) are unique digital assets that use blockchain technology to prove their ownership and authenticity. NFTs can represent a wide range of digital content such as images, videos, audio files, virtual real estate, and more. They cannot be duplicated or divided, as each NFT is unique and represents a one-of-a-kind item.

The metaverse refers to a virtual universe or a collective space where users can interact with each other and with virtual objects, often in the form of computer-generated graphics and simulations. The metaverse is often seen as a decentralized and immersive alternative to the traditional internet, and NFTs play a crucial role in representing and transferring ownership of virtual assets within it.

Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, where users have more control over their data and online identity. Web3 technologies, such as blockchain, aim to create a more decentralized, secure, and user-centric internet, where users can interact and transact without intermediaries. The metaverse is often seen as a crucial component of the web3 vision, as it provides a space for users to interact and transact using Web3 technologies.

Panel Discussion: How to survive and strive in Web3?

Panel Discussion: How to survive and strive in Web3?

Web3 refers to the third generation of the World Wide Web, which focuses on decentralized technologies such as blockchain and peer-to-peer networks. Web3 technologies have the potential to disrupt traditional centralized models and enable greater user control, privacy, and security.

There are a few reasons why Web3 is gaining popularity:

Decentralization: Web3 technologies are decentralized, meaning they are not controlled by a single entity or organization. This can give users greater control over their data and assets and reduce the risk of censorship or interference.

Security: Web3 technologies are designed to be more secure than their centralized counterparts. For example, blockchain networks are secured through cryptographic techniques, making them resistant to tampering and fraud.

Privacy: Web3 technologies can help preserve user privacy by allowing individuals to control their own data and assets rather than relying on a third party.

Interoperability: Web3 technologies are designed to be interoperable, meaning they can work together and exchange data seamlessly. This can enable the development of new and innovative applications and services.

The popularity of Web3 technologies is driven by the potential for greater control, security, privacy, and interoperability in the digital world.

But does the wider audience in the crypto space think the same? How do we survive and strive in the Web3 environment? This topic is covered by a panel of experts at Twitter Spaces on 30th Dec 2022 at 21:00 SGT.

Hosted by Blockcast (https://twitter.com/Blockcastcc) and
Co-Hosted: Bybit NFT (https://twitter.com/Bybit_NFT) and Bybit Web3 (https://twitter.com/Bybit_Web3).

It was moderated by Scott Tripp, Marketing Lead of
Blockcast.cc.

With the following guests discussing the Web3 topic:
- Allan, Head of Operation, Moledao (https://moledao.io)
- Anndy Lian, Book Author, NFT: From Zero to Hero (https://anndy.com)
- Grace, CMO of TwitterScan
- Jenny Zheng, BD Lead of Bybit NFT (https://www.bybit.com)
- Yoka, Secretary General of ABGA

In conclusion, here are a few tips that might help you survive and thrive in the Web3 ecosystem:

Keep learning: The Web3 ecosystem is constantly evolving, so it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest developments. This can be done through online courses, attending conferences, and following industry leaders on social media.

Network: The Web3 ecosystem is still small and tight-knit, so networking with other professionals can be incredibly valuable. Join online communities, attend meetups, and participate in hackathons to meet others in the industry.

Focus on a specific area: While it's important to have a broad understanding of the Web3 ecosystem, it can also be helpful to focus on a specific area and become an expert in that field. This could be a particular protocol, platform, or application.

Experiment: The Web3 ecosystem is still in its early stages, so there is much room for experimentation and innovation. Don't be afraid to try new ideas and approaches, and be open to learning from your failures.

Stay positive: The Web3 ecosystem is full of challenges and setbacks, so staying positive and maintaining a growth mindset is essential. Keep an open mind and remain resilient, and you'll be well-equipped to handle whatever comes your way.

Anndy Lian, Book Author NFT: From Zero to Hero Spoke at ApeX Dex Talks Episode 9

Anndy Lian, Book Author NFT: From Zero to Hero Spoke at ApeX Dex Talks Episode 9

Anndy Lian spoke at ApeX Dex Talks Episode 9 on 9 November 2022. ApeX DeX Talks is a weekly fireside chat happening every Wednesday on ApeX Protocol’s official Twitter. The host used this segment to have real conversations on real decentralization with leading voices in the web3 space. Anndy Lian is a Thought Leader, Investor & Best-Selling Author. His latest book titled NFT: From Zero to Hero is also well-accepted by the NFT community. At the talk, the host and Anndy touched on the following: - Let’s begin with an Introduction of yourself, and tell us more about your background in the crypto space. How long have you been active in crypto and what have your experiences been like so far? - Sounds like you have been through a lot in this space. So Anndy, can you dive into the basics of NFTs and what is it usually used for in web3 at the moment? - What other kinds of use cases do you think the technology of NFTs would be able to help with the real world? Do you think NFTs could eventually replace the traditional paper certificates of ownership like real estates, wills and legal documents? - Could you share with us what are your thoughts on the future of NFTs and its relevance to the real world. When do you think mass adoption of NFTs would become a mainstream thing? - We have seen a common occurrence in the NFT space where bots and snipers are constantly manipulating prices of NFT launches. Do you think that industry experts should be coming up with preventive measures to curb such actions or that this is actually healthy for the space? - Do you think that NFTs have a chance in the eSports scene or any other gaming sectors? How do you think NFTs will be integrated and which projects are most likely to welcome NFTs to their ecosystem? - Let's talk about DEXes and why is it an indispensable part of DeFi: We have all seen the recent saga between Binance and FTX, where FTX has announced that they are facing liquidity issues and their users may not be able to withdraw all their funds. What is your opinion on this and how could this have been avoided? - What is your take on Decentralized exchanges? What do you think are some of the advantages offered by DEXes as opposed to their centralized counterparts? - What are your thoughts on the ApeX Protocol?I know you have tried the product already, maybe you can share your thoughts with our listeners. - Another question I would like to ask you that concerns AperX, as you know on ApeX Pro, the SBT ApeSoul will be used to establish a trader’s trading performance and reputation in a social trading model, erasing the need for manual verification via a centralized entity. Traders have full control over the creation of their ApeSouls. ApeSouls are linked to a trader’s trading profile (DID — Digital Identity), which includes data such as trading volume, number of trades, open interest, ranking, profits and more. With this, ApeX Pro traders can make their foray into Web 3.0 social trading, where Principal Traders can be determined automatically on the protocol via the data locked on a trader’s unique ApeSoul. What are your thoughts on using SBTs in social trading? Anndy ended the talk by asking all to be cautious in the current crypto environment. "Always do your own research."

Anndy Lian's Speech at Busan Blockchain Week 2022- “Trends Shaping the Future of NFT”

Anndy Lian's Speech at Busan Blockchain Week 2022- “Trends Shaping the Future of NFT”

Busan Blockchain Week (BWB) 2022, hosted by Busan Metropolitan City held at BEXCO for 3 days from Oct. 27th (Thu.) to the 29th (Sat). With the theme of “Blockchain, City and Life”, as an extension of last year’s NFT Busan 2021, BWB 2022 will feature conferences for the advancement of the blockchain industry and provide a space to obtain insight as well as to share information.

Anndy Lian's speech is on "Trends Shaping the Future of NFT".

Anndy Lian is an all-rounded business strategist in Asia. He has provided advisory across a variety of industries for local, international, public listed companies and governments. He is an early blockchain adopter and experienced serial entrepreneur, book author, investor, board member and keynote speaker.

NFT: From Zero to Hero is his latest book. Zero to Hero is a call to anyone and everyone excited about the prospect of the world of NFT. Bound by imagination only, the NFT space is still in its early days and early adopters can be a “hero” in their search for new possibilities. The book is available on Amazon and Bybit. More than 8,000 copies were sold.

NFTs took 2021 by storm. With billions traded over NFTs and a strong community behind the technology, we’re seeing NFTs being adopted by industries as diverse as gaming, finance, art, and medicine.

NFT Gaming and GameFi: This trend is obvious. At present, many successful game manufacturers in the traditional game industry want to get involved in NFTs.

NFT Ticketing: NFT ticketing goes beyond this. The future of NFTs in ticketing offers opportunities for lifetime value, exclusive access, and extra incentives for buyers.

NFT Fragments: Fractionalization essentially breaks up an NFT into smaller pieces, so people can purchase small parts of an expensive NFT.

Digital Twin NFTs: Imagine this same type of record existing for physical items. It would completely change resale markets.

AI NFTs: Alongside blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI) is the next major disruptor in tech. So it should be no surprise the two are being combined.

NFTs and Health: With issues surrounding counterfeit vaccination passports and concerns about the vulnerabilities of centralized data storage of sensitive medical information, NFTs and the blockchain may well be integrated more and more into medicine and health in the years to come.

Growth Amidst Doubt

Although the popularity of NFTs is indeed declining, all walks of life are still accelerating their integration with NFTs.

Starting in the second half of 2021, many well-known brands have also begun to try NFTs, matching them with real objects and even designing their own metaverse. Obviously, the utility has become the first test for big brands in the metaverse field through NFTs.

NFT essentially provides brands with a new way to launch limited-edition products, and the resulting community and word-of-mouth communication will raise their share of voice compared to rival brands.

The Future of NFTs

A number of countries are now actively working on regulatory frameworks for NFT assets, strengthening anti-fraud and anti-manipulation audits of projects, determining the business core of each platform, and solving financial security issues such as illegal fundraising and false fraud.

At the same time, major public chains are actively upgrading, expanding, and building their own ecological frameworks to provide underlying support for the production, confirmation, pricing, circulation, and traceability of NFT assets. Nowadays, NFT financial tools are becoming more and more abundant, and the scale of financial derivatives is steadily increasing. The NFT industry is gradually exploring a development path suitable for blockchain assets.

"The future these NFT trends depict is an interesting one. While many people are concerned about the implications of the metaverse and the rise of AI, it’s a future full of possibilities. We are still early. Let's build the ecosystem together." Anndy Lian added.

TVCC Interviews Anndy Lian, Book Author of NFT: From Zero to Hero

TVCC Interviews Anndy Lian, Book Author of NFT: From Zero to Hero

TVCC, a South Korea-based media company interviewed Anndy Lian, book author of NFT: From Zero to Hero at TOKEN2049 week in Singapore. Anndy introduced his new book and why it is "Zero to Hero". NFTs took 2021 by storm. With billions traded over NFTs and a strong community behind the technology, we see NFTs adopted by industries as diverse as gaming, finance, art, and medicine. The sales volume for NFT has been declining for various reasons, but NFT is already deeply rooted in everyone's mind. The potential applications of NFTs are nearly endless. Some claim ten years from now, all purchases will be accompanied by NFTs. Others think smart contracts will replace legal documents. And while many think NFTs are a fad or too niche to become widely used, big players from Meta (formerly Facebook) to Twitter to Reddit and Visa are taking notice and are working to ensure they don’t miss out on the NFT boom. "The future these NFT trends depict is an interesting one. While many people are concerned about the implications of the metaverse and the rise of AI, it’s a future full of possibilities. It’s a future that bridges the gap between consumers and creators, gives value and security to digital assets, and one which, for better or for worse, will shake up the world." Anndy Lian commented. Anndy also mentioned his NFT book launch on Bybit NFT Marketplace. He believes that pricing is very important in the current market, and Bybit's Grabpic program fits perfectly with what the market wants. Find out more about Anndy's book on Bybit.

What is CC0 NFT? Are they any good? What are good?

What is CC0 NFT? Are they any good? What are good?

Melos Studio is launching their music NFT + CC0 month. CC0, also known as the Creative Commons, means “no rights reserved” on intellectual property. It's a type of copyright that allows creators to waive legal interest in their work and take it into the public domain almost instantly. They have invited the following guests to discuss it. Yalu - Lin Melos Co-Founder TP - X2Y2 Co-Founder Daley - Community Lead of BSC Daily Anndy Lian - KOL/ Best Selling NFT Book Author “NFT: From Zero to Hero” A CC0 NFT can be owned by others. Anyone can use the NFT for commercial purposes without attributing it to the original artist or creator. In summary, CC0 NFTs can be seen as open-source IPs. The sound of NFT on CC0 might sound like it is worthless, and everyone is copying everyone. But it may not be. If more people use the art, CC0 NFTs often become more valuable. If more people pay attention to it, it becomes more valuable. And CC0 incentivizes sharing the project’s art, creating derivatives or monetizing it. This is the point shared by Daley from BSC Daily. However, Anndy Lian states two critical issues. NFT is still growing, and transforming from a 2D NFT to 3D for another batch of sales looks like a money grab. If the community generally accepts this, we will see more people selling new collections by adding some curly hair to the image. This changed the value totally. Anndy also cautioned that we need to trace back to the original CC0 image to ensure it is copyright-free. The full discussion can be found at https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1ynJOagNbMlKR. CC0- Are they any good? What are good? We just got to remind ourselves that NFTs are more than just owning a piece of art, or pure speculations; they are part of a community, where a culture has been created, and culture creates a following. NFTs have opened a whole new set of opportunities for businesses and creators. You can read more about this topic in Anndy's new book- NFT: From Zero to Hero at https://books.google.com.sg/books/about/NFT_From_Zero_to_Hero.html?id=OSqFEAAAQBAJ&source=kp_book_description&redir_esc=y

FIL-Singapore Summit 2022: NFTs, The Bridge between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0

FIL-Singapore Summit 2022: NFTs, The Bridge between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0

Filecoin is making the web more secure and efficient with a decentralized data storage marketplace, protocol, and cryptocurrency. They are here in Singapore during the Token 2049 week to bring more Web 3.0 people together at their flagship event FIL-Singapore Summit.

It’s the perfect opportunity to connect with developers, storage providers, ecosystem partners, investors, and clients across the entire Filecoin ecosystem.

At one of the panel discussions, experts discussed the topic- NFTs, The Bridge between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. The panellists lineup includes YC (Business Development Manager, Moledao), Anndy Lian (Author, NFT: from Zero to Hero), Jenny Zheng (BD Lead, BYBIT NFT), Guangmian (Integrations and Partnerships Lead, Kleros and Faye (Founder, Unschul).

They looked into topics such:

The fundamentals of NFTs
- As the interest in NFTs drops significantly with the bear market, how do you think we move forward from here?
- What are the existing utility of NFTs and how are they valuable?

"For corporations who are entering into the NFT space. They do not have the right tools and people. There are a lot of things that need to be done. If you are going to a decentralised marketplace, no one can also help you. If you come to a centralized marketplace like Bybit, we have tools that can help you make your NFTs happen." Jenny Zheng commented.

Brands and Corporations Entering the NFT space
- Why do you think large brands such as Marvel, Disney, Adidas, Pepsi, LV and celebrities such as Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Jimmy Fallon are getting involved with NFTs?
- How does the use of NFTs as a technology disrupt existing institutional systems and applications?

"Brands can use NFT to build their relationship with their users." YC mentioned.

Future outlook of NFTs as we move from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0
- NFTs have received a lot of resistance in terms of acceptance. Why do you think that is happening, and what will it take for mass adoption of NFTs?
- What do you think about some of the ways that liquidity can be added to NFTs, whether in terms of NFT collateralised loans, AMMs, or derivatives like futures on NFTs?
- What do you think will be the next big trend in NFTs?

"I really hope to see more AAA games entering the NFT market. I think the driving force for the next wave will be led by NFT." Anndy Lian added too.

FIL-Singapore is a collaborative four-day event hosted by the Filecoin community in Asia. There will be a Filecoin Summit and many independently hosted events including meetups, workshops, a hackathon and happy hours throughout the week.

Everything about Ethereum Merge on Blockcast.cc Twitter Spaces

Everything about Ethereum Merge on Blockcast.cc Twitter Spaces

Ethereum Merge is a hotly anticipated and long-awaited upgrade.

The Merge represents the Ethereum network's shift to proof-of-stake (PoS), its new system (also called a “consensus mechanism”) for authenticating crypto transactions. The reason the change from PoW to PoS is called “the Merge” is because the already running beacon chain will merge with the existing Ethereum mainnet chain.

On the other hand- The fork, commonly referred to as ETHPoW, will share the same transaction history as the main Ethereum network but start creating its own blocks. What does this mean to the market? Are we looking at more volatility?
